Eagles Fans Scramble to Claim Last-Minute Tickets, Flights, Hotels for Super Bowl LIX
Super Bowl LIX is only two weeks away, and Philadelphia Eagles fans are scrambling to secure tickets, flights, and hotels for the big game in New Orleans.
The “Gametime” app offers last-minute travel tickets to the Super Bowl, but fans should expect to pay up for them. ABC 6 Action News Philadelphia reported that as of 5 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 27, the cheapest ticket was $4,700. Top-tier tickets were being listed for more than $56,000 in the hours following the Eagles victory.
“This one is going to be hard to shop around because we’re looking at a window of less than two weeks to get you to New Orleans,” AAA’s Jana Tidwell explained in an interview. “People will need to act quickly.”
Tidwell warns those looking for tickets to be aware of travel scams. If the price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
FOX 29 News broke down the latest on flights, places to stay, and travel packages.
